Fire Alarms Go Off while Filming the FAMOUS Market Parking Garage - Roanoke, VA

[@IanGSully]

I think the elevators would recall during a fire alarm event if one of 2 things. 1. The Smoke detector in the Elevator machine room has activated. 2. The Smoke detector in the Elevator Shaft has activated. Keep in mind that that there is also a heat detector in the elevator machine room, so if the heat detector gets activated, then the elevator will shunt trip, that means the fire alarm panel will tell the a special service disconnect for the elevator to trip, cutting the power to the elevator. But maybe the elevator stopped on Floor #1 because the fire alarm system told the elevator to stop on the nearest floor. Or maybe someone just called it. Also keep this in mind, some people may already know this, but this is for some people in the elevator community that don't know this.

Ohhh the sweet sounds of the hydraulic motor

Yeah

[@MatthewSchumer-i9k]

Dear Andrew with Diesel Ducy Please don’t take the Elevators while the Fire Alarm goes off anywhere especially at the Market Parking Garage.

[@GabetheSlacker]

How come the speakers on the SpectrAlert Advance Speaker Strobes weren't sounding while the strobe was flashing?

[@mitchellarmstrong3759]

I'm legitimately confused. Wouldn't the elevator be recalled when the fire alarms go off? Maybe it was a fault of somesort in the system.

[@pepsicolachao4537]

No, I think they likely have not hooked it up to recall the elevators if the fire alarms go off.

[@mitchellarmstrong3759]

@@pepsicolachao4537 That makes sense. I was asking because I've seen that happen elsewhere.

[@williamsr06]

It's probably not hooked up to the fire alarm system. If it was, then it would go into Fire Service Phase I.

[@Firepanel6]

Elevators are only recalled if a smoke detector near that elevator gets tripped.

[@kryxtalplay]

They might didn’t turn on the fireman’s mode so that’s why is not recalling.

[@elevatorswithESH]

These elevators are supposed to go into fire service when the alarms are going off. Well it was definitely nice that the fire alarms didn’t make the obnoxious HONK sound.

[@TheEASdude0825]

the type of alarm those are if your interested its a system sensor specteralert advanced SPSR speaker strobe (wall mount model only).

[@johndeerefan725]

It's also the Outdoor "K" model SPSRs

[@TheEASdude0825]

@@johndeerefan725 oh ok

[@ZZ9ProductionsOFFICIAL]

only some seemed to be going off there, probably a fault

[@kgrfirdjy]

it could be a lamp test, which is used to check the blinking lamps, but not activating the audible alarm sound.

[@BRISTOLFORCE2009]

At 2:45 I can hear a simplex 9838 mechanical horn?

[@steveparker4510]

Probably?

[@Msranda2007]

It was the speaker strobe when there is no voice evacuation message playing but the speakers are on there is a buzzing that the amplifier inside the Fire alarm panel plays through the speakers

[@blue.light.fazbear]

That sound in the background is probably just the air conditioners

[@thatelevatorpersonfilms]

This was a cause of a test Probably. As the elevators didn’t go into recall.

[@itigo23]

On certain elevators, there's a key switch. That'll need to be turned in order for the elevators to recall to the lobby

[@mitchellarmstrong3759]

@@itigo23 Even if it has a switch, some elevators will go into phase 1 when the alarm goes off.

[@Jamestube8439]

Interesting, this isn't the first time this has happened according to other videos I've seen here on KZbin. Any idea why they were going off?

[@EWPA14]

Probably a test or fault.

yeah appleation elevators also know as brendan filmed the fire alarms im superized that ronoake fire department didn,t responde

Strange how the strobes were on but no sound was coming out

[@TheEASdude0825]

true

Probably audible silence, maybe

Probably had the panel in test mode which is what engineers use when testing the call points

[@evochick7267]

I do wonder why the fire alarm was going off I do like the market parking garage but why what is the fire alarm going off?

[@Lifts_QWERTY]

I know that the lift should be in fire mode (which it isn’t so there’s an issue going on), but isn’t it stupid to ride a lift if a fire alarm is going off and there is a fire?

[@Msranda2007]

The reason some Fire alarms were going off and some were not is on some Fire alarm control panels you can pick which alarms go off which one don’t. Also there would have been a message playing saying to leave the building but they probably disabled the message if they were testing the system.

[@kgrfirdjy]

i have heard that is similar to skyscraper buildings, which set off alarms on the floor where the fire is as well as a few floors above and below it.

[@GaryBeltz]

Did you ever find out why they were going off? Why didn't they make any noise?

[@UnionPacificBigBoy-of8xy]

Gary Beltz That's a strobe

[@tornadofirealarmgamez4695]

Lol its a strobe not a horn or horn strobe.

Oh wow. I wonder if it was a test or a fault.

[@leahbussen3634]

It is

[@bronsonplatter6180]

It does not even matter if there's no sound coming out of the strobes just evacuate the garage immediately do not continue filming those elevators that is a dangerous thing to do when the fire alarm is sounding Another Even though strobes are just flashing and the sound is coming out just evacuate the garage and stop Filming the elevators until you figure out what's wrong with the garage thank you

[@pineappleroad]

They remind me of the college students that had to be told to evacuate by a member of staff I was in one of the buildings at a college I shall not name, but it is in the UK, and the fire alarm went off As I was unsure if it was a test, I counted to 10 in my head, 10 seconds had passed, alarm still sounding But as none of the other students moved, I stood there like a lemon 🍋 for a few seconds before a member of staff told everyone to evacuate

[@roymillar4895]

How thick are you guys

[@pineappleroad]

I've known a room full of college students (that I was among) to just sit there doing whatever while the fire alarm was sounding for more than 10 seconds (I tend to wait 10 seconds if I am not sure if it a test or I think it is a test) After the alarm had been sounding for 10 seconds, because no one else moved, I stood there like a lemon 🍋 until a member of staff told everyone to evacuate

[@ken6x6]

The flashing lights are called a strobe.

[@tornadofirealarmgamez4695]

System sensor spectralert advanced strobe

[@bronsonplatter6180]

You guys should be evacuating there could be a fire dont Continue filming the elevators just evacuate the garage NOW

[@pineappleroad]

They are just as bad as every student at a college I used to go to Fire alarm went off in one of the buildings, all the students assumed it was a test, more than 10 seconds passed, alarm still going off I counted to 10 in my head, incase it was a test, but as no one else moved I ended up stood there like a lemon 🍋, until a member of staff told everyone to evacuate EDIT: Oh, and there was another time I can think of, when I was in a classroom, fire alarm went off, more than 10 seconds passed, teacher decided that the alarm was going on longer than usual for a test, and JUST as we got out the classroom door the alarm was turned off, so we went back into the classroom, and it was just a test

[@roymillar4895]

Sure let’s stay in the lift No

[@HSETM]
